I share your appreciation for the beauty of rocks. Iโve only polished Petoskey stones from Michiganโs lower peninsula, though.

I polished the Petoskey stones I have by hand. Finished them off with baby oil. I am particularly fond of them because I picked them up on the shore with my dear friend 20 years ago. Iโll look for a good report from you.

I tried tumbling some then shined up a little with ‘Turtle’ car wax & was not happy. They look prettiest wet with Lake Michigan water โ๏ธ ๐
